Description

To reduce the potential for unauthorized diversion of plutonium, the solvent extraction flowsheet for recovery and purification of LWR fuels is being altered to eliminate streams containing pure plutonium. One method of eliminating pure plutonium streams (coprocessing) will partially separate uranium and plutonium at the partitioning stage; a pure uranium stream and a mixed uranium-plutonium stream will result. This paper is a report of studies of partial partitioning
